Yep, I don't even print from macs normally. However I had grown somewhat curious what all the problems everyone was having were related to. After some fiddling around I figured out what was happening in my particular case. The summary is: Photoshop somehow causes the 'color management' section of the print dialog to be greyed out, but it is needed in order to set up color correctly. Getting a reasonable print using a custom...

Anyone else waiting for Epson 3880?
Published (2009-12-02 02:57:00)
It took me about a minute to look at a lot of places to find out I can't get them yet, although they are finally in stock at B&H. Let's see, Amazon has them, full price, and they might ship it to you in 3 to 6 weeks. Great catch.

Gollywop that was a very good summary. I agree, don't know where some of the other info came from.

I am one of those people who don't buy any extended warranties on anything I buy. I find that I am way ahead money-wise by doing this. I think the insurance companies know something....... In any case, I bought the first 3800 that I could find when they were first released, and it is still going strong. It is a great printer.

I would search out a user group for your printer specifically. Yahoo tends to have those sort of things. Often fellow members upload custom profiles for popular papers that they have developed for others to download. SmertZ

Scanning Film ODD Size
Published (2009-12-02 13:28:00)
5x5 would be a nice size 3.5x-4x enlargement. Color negs definitely fade and have color balance issues as they fade. I was scaning some 20 yr old negs and definitely had color issues. Older color film say pre 1985 when C41 came in was a little soft so you may not find the sharpness your are used to there. I shot 127 with a plastic lensed Brownie so the camera may not have been the best either. If the negs are b&w then the fading will...

any laser printers up to the job?

Whilst the OKI range can produce high quality - fine for brochures - they still do not look like the high quality photos from lasers. Toners are expensive too.

How big are the differencies? If Your monitor is properly calibrated, and You use proper printer/paper profile for viewing (You should turn on soft-proofing in PS), thre should be only smal shifts of color. For better match You need to create custom profiles for Your workflow.

The doors do hang open when using the larger cartridges. I use the 110 carts on the 4800 simply for volume of use. In other words if I did more volume I'd move to the larger carts. Ideally you want to use your ink carts up in a years time. In practice it doesn't really matter if they go a few months out of date from time of opening. When I ran the wedding business it was a different story, ...

Hi Paul... I am absolutely _not_ an expert on printing, but I'll take a stab at it: If your image is not at the printer's native resolution, it _will_ be converted to a different size, but by the printer's software. In general you would probably prefer to have the resizing done by a program you trust and/or can control, such as Photoshop (or QImage???? - dunno anything about QImage, though ...

Hi,
This is my first HP printer and bought it to share prints with family and friends. This is a 4 color dye ink printer with 1 pigmented black for text. It came with HP Advanced Photo paper and the prints (color & bw) looked nice and matched the colors on my screen.
My question is, can I use HP Premium Photo Plus paper with this? Does it look just as nice as HP Advanced prints? What is ...

Unfortunately I haven't used the papers you mention, but these general rules of thumb might help. If the paper is even a bit 'shiny' on the surface usually photo black works better. This generally includes all of : Glossy, Luster, Semi-gloss, Baryta, Fine art metal If the paper surface is matte as in matte like wall paint or has _exposed_ fiber then matte black works better. This generally ...

Bear in mind that there's nothing tremendously wrong with using the driver or host icm to do the color conversion. Yes, its probably not quite as good as doing it in photoshop or LR, but the difference is not generally that huge. ie - I'm speaking of selecting the equivalent of : 'Printer manages colors' in photoshop and then mode:custom; icm; and 'advanced...' in epson printer drivers. I ...

As an added note, I have turned off both the printer and Qimage a number of time and restarted them, but end up with the same results.

I assume that you are talking about what you see when the Gamut Warning is enabled. Try changing the Rendering Intent from Perceptual to Absolute Colorimetric.

I just bought an HP6000 printer and am really upset that the ink quality in the last 10 years has gone backwards. My old HP printer ink at least did not come off just from touching the print. I mean I was not expecting ink that was waterproof but not even being able to touch the print is ridiculous and this is even with HP premium photo paper although it is not their new colorlok stuff. This is ...

where did you get these profiles? profiles are printer/paper specific so they (the profiles) had to have been made on Epson paper run through a Canon printer which is only going to happen if someone (a 3rd party) did it. it's not going to come from Canon or Epson. the profile installation method is specific to the OS you're using (Windows or Mac).

I've made a few prints so far on Kodak Premium Glossy and Red River's Pecos River Gloss, and found them to be an improvement over the glossy prints I made with my Epson 2200 in terms of gloss differential and bronzing; little to no evidence of either from the 3880.

Okay, that's interesting. Thanks for the info. I do believe these where done as prints. What size prints do you think they were?
